The possibility of prolousjay lie has
commanded the serious attention OF emf
neut scientists, and the discovery of

venting or suspending physical decay, has

Charleston Gossip.

A policeman shot mad dog in Church
street, near Market street, Monday morn
ing.
It does seem strange, but it is true never
theless, that the ice cream manufacturers
in Charleston get most of the cream they
use from Connecticut.
The hardware stores in the city are ship
ping large numbers of old army muslSets to
the rice plantations on the coast The mar
ket will soon be flooded with rice birds.
1t was rumored on the street Monday that
Mr.. G.. w. Quintard of New York, formerly
president o. the New York and Charleston
Steamship Company commonly known as
the Adger Line, in association with Mr.. NAL
lory, the great steamship owner, intended to
put on a line of ships from New York to
Charleston so as to increase the accommo-
dations 1t was reported that the Atlantic
Coast Line was at the back of the project,
or in sympathy with it. There would be a
necessity for such combination for insur-
ing freight by a new line of steamers in as
much as it is understood that the South
Carolina Railway is under engagement to
give all its business to the Clyde Line The
South Carolina Railway, moreover, virtu-
ally owns the Adger wharves, which now
derives business from the Clyde steamers.
Two or three Charlestonans of means and
ability are said to be interested in the ven
ture, but every one connected with it is dis
posed to be reticent. 1t was predicted how
ever, yesterday that one of the first effects
of the opposition line would be a lowering
of rates from and to New York and the
South Atlantic States. This would affect
the transportation of all business between
New York and the South Atlantic States at
least
